The mail from head office is that Tabcorp has withdrawn it’s promised sponsorship for ID22, leaving HRV cold, lonely and unloved in the way of financial support for Australia’s biggest harness racing series. We have left a message with HRV seeking confirmation. But I suspect that out mail is good. If so, it throws up […]
For years the touch screens in Queensland TAB’s have been useless. They either don’t work, or they lag, or you have to push them ten times to get them going, or they crash. Upgrading them to fix the problem would be the logical thing to do, but that would make too much sense, and Tabcorp […]
The Hulbert stable or their supporters didn’t miss this one. It was the 6th race at Lismore. Smart Kubrick was backed from $101 into $5.50. Now that’s a go of Getting Closer proportion. The horse was first up for four months, and had been beaten out of sight at it’s only two starts in Brisbane. […]

This one’s from a reader who has trained more than a few Group 1 winners in his time. I have a feeling he’s talking about the TAB ….
Anacta is the lobbyist firm run by lifetime Labor hacks that was was banned earlier this week from speaking to Govt Ministers in an official capacity or dealing with the Government. In the past 12 months one or the other of Anacta’s chiefs (or both) met with Government officials 43 times, and then – lo […]
